Hypoglycaemia

10 remedies · 0 attempts

Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) occurs when blood glucose falls below the normal range. It most commonly affects people with diabetes taking insulin or certain medications but can also occur in non-diabetics. It causes a range of symptoms from mild shakiness to severe confusion and unconsciousness.
